MTG Salvation

Standard checklist:

1. Are you playing dudes? Yes? Good. No? WTF are you thinking? You're going to get smashed! Proceed to 2 if the answer to 1 is yes.

2. Are there swords in the deck? No? FAIL!
Yes? aaaaahhhhhhhhh (cosby). Proceed to 3 if the answer to 2 is yes.

3. Do you have an efficient way of dealing with said sword? Yes? Play said deck. Win.
No? Consider new decks.

You're Welcome.

I thought Swords weren't very good anymore because they suck in the Delver mirror?

NAAAAAH! http://sales.starcitygames.com/deckdatabase/deckshow.php?&t[C1]=1&start_date=2012-06-03&end_date=2012-06-10&city=worcester&start_num=25&start_num=0&limit=25

6 out of the top 8 agree, sword fighting is the way to go. also congrats to our very own jake moldowsky on a very honorable 5th place. way to represent depot. btw his deck is not ramp, is just r/g aggro

Quote from Samoht

Also not sure why Dragon Fodder had to be renamed.

to sell product

on an even sadder note, standard has devolved to sword fighting. That is all.

I see Mikey did not show this Friday for his SF thrashing, it will have to wait a week I guess.

Lol peep the PT coverage. Miracle.dec t8'd.

Aaaaaaaahhhhhhh....(Cosby face)

how about Tamiyo's second ability and yosei the morning star?

ok seriously, wheres the u/r combo already?

vexing devil, the real question you should be asking yourself is, do you play him, or GG first?

Quote from Samoht

vile? wts english language.



it's not that scary to me. +1 isnt very good, -2 is solid vs tokens, ultimate is weak in std. card will preorder at 30 spike briefly at release then drop like a rock.

are we playing the same format samoht? last i checked all tokens in a token deck get vigi, which makes the -2 TERRIBAD vs tokens. The +1 is not very good? I believe Mr. Vengeant would have to disagree with you on that and, so would every ramp or zombies player. as for the ultimate, its def. not realistic, but it is insane, having infinite kill spells from 1 CARD ssssssseeeeeeems good to me.

@ohnoman i dunno how viable that would be with both PW being 5 mana, but it is a sick engine. I still think the -2 is very sick, but there will have to be another card (like jura) to assist with making the ability viable. ultimately i think youre probably going to see a u/w tapout deck come up again.

@dmx she was supposedly trapped in the hellvault in the storyline, which is why she "belongs" in this set. although im not sure how one would "trap" a planeswalker.

and all i can do is just point out that elephant in the room, BLUE WHITE, just sayin.

t1 avacyn's pilgrim
t2 silverblade paladin
t3 2 joint assault, extend hand.

This game is too easy.

thats the lols - I LIKE IT!
also, im sure nothing will happen to either creature and your opponent is doing absolutely nothing at this point in the game =D

although, you could also run some of those protection from cards to ensure victory like apostle's blessing, or that new one faith's shield.

i wanna see the deck, make it so.

Quote from Ignus

let's say this new angel gets hexproof. How many cards can kill it in standard? I'll start. Black sun zenith, call to the grave, phyrexian metamorph, phantasmal image.

i think i did this already, i missed metamorph/image tho, and that would have to be one hell of a zenith. call to the grave is a very abstract.

soooo ummm now that more cards are spoiled, ummmm, anyone see anything wrong? wait for it....

also miracle seems dumb, i dislike. wtf is up with that wording?

edit: yes mikey i thought mortapod was bad when it was FIRST printed, then they printed tragic slip and grave crawler...heh.

Quote from Samoht

it doesn't die to most removal. indestructible is a problem. also, indestructible board can be problematic for opponents, and exploited by you. imagine Worldslayer shenanigans...

lilly sac it, geths verdict sac it, block my oblits? ok sac it. not to mention the removal suite that white has now and im sure it will be even more intense when the whole set is spoiled. i think the card is poop imho, but hey, i though mortapod was garbage too. I just hate angels, i feel they do not belong in MTG.

*SPOILER ALERT*


(whispered)
The demon (Grizzlebrand) will be overcosted and suck ass.


Although, I would like to see an evil Thalia if that's possible.

aaaaaaand wow. after seeing the trailer/spoiler for this set, i predict the next set will be really bad.
